Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Exposure to rain and oxygen causes the metal minerals in rocks to rust and fall apart. This is an example of:
A
mechanical weathering
B
chemical weathering
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It reacts with rocks through a process called oxidation. One example of this type of weathering is rust formation, which occurs when oxygen reacts with iron to form iron oxide (rust).

Detailed explanation-2: -Another type of chemical weathering works on rocks that contain iron. These rocks turn to rust in a process called oxidation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples of chemical weathering are rust, which happens through oxidation and acid rain, caused from carbonic acid dissolves rocks. Other chemical weathering, such as dissolution, causes rocks and minerals to break down to form soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxidation/Rusting In weathering, when oxygen combines with another substances, oxidation has occurred. Sometimes a change in the color of a rock is an indication that oxidation has occurred. One common example of oxidation rust.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stormwater. It assumes a significant job in the hydrolysis and oxidation forms inside the stones. Acid Rain. Acid rain happens when water ends up corrosive by blending with acidic statements in the climate. Bio-Chemical Processes. Hydrolysis. Carbonation.
